Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton told NBC affiliate WRAL that last week’s arrest of Carl Wiggins is just the beginning of his investigation, adding it also means authorities are one step closer to finding Kiara.

[...]

Kiara’s older sister JM told Dateline their family became worried when they could not get in touch with her for several days earlier this month. Known to her loved ones as “Booboo,” Kiara is described as a family-oriented, happy person. And she was always good about answering her phone or at least quick to return a missed phone call.

So on June 18, when her family still hadn’t heard from her, they filed a missing persons report with the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office.

[...]

JM told Dateline the family also confronted Kiara’s husband, but said he refused to answer their questions.

“I said, ‘Where's my sister?’” JM told Dateline. “He said, he tells me, ‘She's with some friend.’ I said, ‘Well, tell me the friend so I can contact them to get my sister.’ And then he just blew up.”

[...]

During the investigation, it was discovered that a black 2003 Ford Excursion had been stolen in Bladen County, according to the release. Investigators believed the theft was committed by Wiggins on June 17.

i know he was arrested, I'm surprised they didn't have any new info to share, like where the car had been or whether Kiara was in the car or not, CW's cell phone trail, or anything really. He may not be cooperating but they have other ways to find out more info.

I think they were waiting to find her body. They know he’s in prison for at least 2 years for the car theft, so they know they don’t have to rush it. They can take their time and build an air tight case. JMO.
